Julien Damoy Omnium Stereoscope

Paris, 1900s

In the early 1900s, Julien Damoy had stereoviews, wooden stereoscopes, and metal stereoscope cases bearing his name. However, Damoy wasn’t a stereoview publisher nor a designer or manufacturer of stereoscopes. He was a successful grocer who used stereoviews as a way of attracting customers. The Omnium stereoscope (L’Omnium) was patented in 1904 by Lucien Bize and was designed for easy disassembly and folding, allowing it to fit into a small case. It can be found with round or square eyepieces.
